Bitcoin dropped below the key psychological barrier of $9,000 late Thursday, shedding more than $300 in just over two hours.
A flash crash of this kind was the last thing the bulls needed given that technical indicators have remained consistently bearish over the past few weeks. Combine that with a bearish volume pattern, and the odds are reasonably high that we’ll soon witness a short term breakdown in the price.
As for the major altcoins, Cardano (ADA) abstained from following Bitcoin’s lead by scoring a double-digit gain in the last 24 hours. However, as BeInCrypto highlighted earlier on in the day, its upward momentum may soon come to a halt.
More on that and other big stories from the day in the Friday edition of BeInCrypto’s Cryptocurrency News Roundup.

Furthermore, the RSI has fallen well below the 50 mark and is now possibly facing resistance from the line.

The Venezuelan Petro: Failed Digital Token or Diamond in the Rough?Meanwhile, halfway across the world in Latin America, the average Venezuelan citizen has been struggling with worsening economic conditions that have been lingering since 2014. In late 2017 the Venezuelan government announced a state-backed digital currency, called the El Petro, or simply Petro.
They hoped it would rekindle the dying economy and bring the nation back on track. It turns out, it wasn’t very practical, and Venezuelans don’t seem to care that much for the highly-centralized ‘crypto.’ It’s hardly a surprise that Bitcoin trading volumes have skyrocketed in the country, particularly in 2020.
